The movement for Sewell was not with
ex Governor Abbetl's consent. He sent
word 20 the men to go down with their
colors flying; and in private conversation
he said that as Democrat he
could not afford to countenance the cleo
ton of Republican Senator by a Demo-
cratic Legislature.

RLoDGE1Ts POLITICAL LIFE.
How He Began, and How He was
Singled Out for Senator.
QFrom the New York Evening Post)


Siogled Out for Senator.
(From the New York Evening Pest.)
During Blodgett's first term in the As
sambly an investigation into some of Secre-
tary of State Kelsey's transactions was in
trusted to committee, of which he was
made chairman and he conducted it in
such manner that Mr.. Kelsey became his
warm friend When Mr.. Kelsey, some
years ago, sprang Gen. Mcclellan on the
Democratic State Convention to beat Alb
bett for the Gubernatorial nomination, the
selection of new State Committee was left
to the Conventions chairman. The gentle
man was, if memory serves Alright, the
present Mayor of Jersey City. In making
his selections he left very small minority
of Mr.. Abbett's friends on the committee !;
these, in disgust. resigned, determined to
let the State House ring, which Kelsey
then controlled, take the whole RESPONSE
bility in the conduct of State campaigns.
Mr.. Kelsey looked about him for some
persons to fill these vacancies, and Mr.
Blodgett was one of those he selected. The
State Committee held control for three
years, and during the last year or
two of it's service he served as
its chairman. Gov. Albeit represented
the ssshort-hairs," as they are called, and
Mr.. Blodgett's adherence to Kelsey and the
s'kid-gloye" Democracy singled him oHt for
Abbett's hatred. 1t can safely be said that
the fact that his bitterest personal enemies
should have reaped the reward of his polit-
cal labors, has added immeasurably to the
sting of Abbett's defeat. To no man
would he more reluctantly have yielded
the palm than to Rufus Blodgett. When,
after Abbett's nomination for the Govern
orship, the State Committee was reorgan-
lied in Abbeit's interest, Blodgett was the
first man to be thrown out.
The disproportion between Blodgett and
an ideal United States Senator seemed so
great that many of those who heard him
mentioned yesterday morning for the first
time were disposed to treat it as a joke.
But Abbett's own fierce hatred of him
helped to commend him to Abbetts party
enemies. They remembered, too, that MIR.
Blodgett might possibly have secured the
nomination for Governor when it was 60
ing a-begging last fall, if Mr.. Abbetts
| friends had not taken the Convention by
| the throat and forced Green's nomination;
and that, too, helped to make Blodgett a
| particularly desirable man for use in max
| ing Abbett's defeat specially bitter dose
\ of wormwood and gall.

for them in the broad aisle in the centre OF
| tina Chamber, there was a delay. The
roll call had disclosed the fact that Lennc n
aud one other Democrat were absent. Sen
ator Edwards, grasping the situation and
seeing his duty in twinkling, held the
roll call open till both came in. Lemons
step was unsteady and his face was flushed
with wine, as he stumbled into his seat
and when business was finally ready to
proceed, he disguised all decent men, and
won the denunciations of his fellow mem
bers and the jeers of the lobby, by namely
rising in mis- seat, at the most inopportnne
two minute intervals, to demand:
"Order Misser Shairman!"
1t was currently said that ne had been
piled with Republican wine;and some
that his Mandolin interference with
the business of the Joint Meeting was
designed to dodge vote for Albeit by
getting himself fred outside the Bar of
the House. Subject to these disgraceful
Interruptions, the business proceeded when
the roll call showed the full number of 81
present The Clerk commenced the call
OF the roll on the vote for SenR
ator. The name of Alderman, the
Stalwart Bergen Republican was the first
on the list. His answer was to be the tip
tor his Republican confreres. One of the
Steering Committee leaned over him,
and whispered half audibly:
ssVote for Rufus Blodgett!"
RUFUS Blodgett" answered the Bergen
County Assemblyman amid breathless ST.
lence that even Lennon did not see fit to
break. The call of the roll went along,
amid an excitement that shall not attempt
to describe. 1t has already been pictured
with conscientious faithfulness by the daily
paper correspondents; and you would not
be interested to have me tell it over
again. The first roll call as you know
showed 80 votes for Blodgett, So
for Albeit, fer Sewell, and two
scattering. There was no election, and
roll call began again. Both sides were
hopeful that the deadlock would be favor
ably broken; but the Republicans were a
little more confident than the Democrats.
The Members on all sides kept tally with
trembling hands. Letts's vote for Albeit
gave the Ex-Governor 80 votes; Kinneys
tor Blodgett gave his Monmouth rival 40
votes. There was yet one needed to make
the election. Dickinson had voted for
Sewell He counted up his tally while the
secretaries counted up theirs. He saw
forty votes for Blodgett, looked over at
Let's. and, pale with excitement, rose in
his seat.
.'Mr Chairman!" he said, with quiet
dignity that oontrasted strangely with the
excitement that surrounded him, II change
my vote from Sewell to Blodgett"
Enough votes were now in the Blodgett
column to give him the glittering prize.

A RACy DECISION.

II was said that way down in 'rrC III
county, Ga, was Justice of the
Peace equally noted for his expecto-
ration of tobacco juice and eccentric
decisions. Quite recently a man
named Higgens sued man named
Jones for S95, the value OF bay
horse that died of CHAMBERS. The
Judge charged the jury in this style
Gentlemen OF the jury, if Jones sold
Higgins the bay horse and warran-
ted the horse to be free from CLAN
ders, then Higgins is entitled to re-
cover the sos paid for the horse
(splD, but If, on the other hand, gen
tlemen of the jury, Jones did not
warrant the CHAMBERS mean if the
CHAMBERS warranted Higgins, or, in
other words (spit), If the horse pay
ed S95 and Higgins died without no
tice from Jones, then he will not be
entitled to recover In order that
you may understand the case, gentle
men (spiD, ! repeat that if you find
that Higgins paid S95 for the CLAN
ders not warranted by Jones, and
afterwards the horse sued Jones no,
sued glanders-l mean if the horse
died and you find that Higgins paid
S95 for the bay CHAMBERS, then he is
not entitled to recover" The jury
wrecked their minds in trying to de
eide the matter under the charge.

ADVICE TO A YOUNG MAN.

Ahd' then, remember, my son, you
have to work. Whether You handle
a pick or pen, wheelbarrow or a
set Of books, digging bitches or edit.
ing paper, ringing an auction
bell or writing funny things, YOU
must work. If you look around YOU.
son, you will see that the men who
are the most able to live the rest Of
their days without work are the men
who worked the hardest. Don't be
afraid OF killing yourself with work,
son. 1t is beyond your power to do
that. Men cannot work so hard as
that on the sunny side Of thirty.
They die somtimes, but it's because
they quit work at q p. m, and don t
go home until : a. m. It's the inter-
val that kills. Work gives you am
appetite for meals; 1T lends solidity
to your slumbers; it gives apprecia-
ton of a holiday.
There are Young men that do not
work, my son but the world is not
proud of them. It does not know
their names, even; it simply speaks
OF them as old so-and-so's boys. No
body likes them, nobody hates them:
the great busy world doesn't even
know that they are there. So find
out what you want to be ana do. son,
and take Off your coat and make a.
dust in the world. The buster you
are, the less deviltry you will be ape
to get into, the swceter will be your
sleep, the brighter and happier your
holidays, and the better satisfied
will the world be with you. Hauk-
eye.

Some one says that the best test Of
a good farm is the thoroughness with
which the manure is cleaned out
from his barnyard The odd places
where rich deposits have been accu-
mulahng for years should all be
cleaned, and if this removes more
soil than can be spared, replace with
sods from the roadside, which when
saturated with manure, are the rich
est kind of fertilizer. Another sign Of
a good farmer is the condition Of his
buildinga, fenee3 and implements
Where these are kept in good order
you will generally find frst-class
farmer.

Every growing, ambitious town is
composed Of three elements, Those
who work patrotically, vigorously
and intelligently for its advancement;
those who are in state Of apathy or
Indifference, and those who take u
curious delight in discouraging the
efforts of Others by ridicule, bya per-
sistent denial that any progress can
or has been accomplished and by
Boosting of every other town besides
their own. The last class are called
croakers, but they really are some
thing worse, for their own opposition
does not arise simply from despon-
dency, but from that unenviable spir.
il which will neither act itself moi
suffer others to act.
